Since we had family visiting us over the holidays, we decided to make something special for lunch. There was a great demand for paneer based side dish and so we made butter paneer masala. Most of the time, I make nut free side dishes as there is always allergy problems among people these days. But, this time I decided to indulge in nuts and recreate the side dish that most people love. Some months ago I had bookmarked Chef Harpal Singh's recipe. It resulted in a resturant style paneer butter masala for sure. The three quarts of silky, rich paneer butter masala soon disappeared and was a big hit.
